Business
Continuity Plan
Tessera Capital
Partners, LLC ("Tessera") has developed a Business Continuity
Plan outlining how the firm will respond to events that significantly
disrupt its business. Since the timing and impact of disasters and disruptions
is unpredictable, the firm will have to be flexible in responding to actual
events as they occur. With that in mind, the following information is
being provided to you regarding Tessera's business continuity plan.
Contacting
Us - if after a significant business disruption you cannot contact
us as you usually do at 585-203-1480, you should call our alternative
number 917-816-2528.
Our Business Continuity Plan - Tessera plans to quickly recover
and resume business operations after a significant business disruption
and respond by safeguarding our employees and property, making a financial
and operational assessment, protecting the firm's books and records, and
allowing our customers to transact business. In short, our business continuity
plan is designed to permit the firm to resume operations as quickly as
possible, given the scope and severity of the significant business disruption.
Tessera's
business continuity plan addresses data back-up and recovery; all mission
critical systems; financial and operational assessments; alternative communications
with customers, employees, and regulators; alternate physical location
of employees; critical supplier, contractor, bank and counter-party impact;
and regulatory reporting.
While every
emergency situation poses unique problems based on external factors, such
as time of day and the severity of the disruption, it is our objective
to restore operations and be able to complete existing business and/or
continue to conduct business within a reasonable amount of time based
on the robust systems, fault tolerance and effective recovery from system
errors or disruptions.
Varying Disruptions - Significant business disruptions can vary
in their scope, and may affect only our firm, the building housing our
firm, the business district where our firm is located, the city where
we are located, or the whole region. Within each of these areas, the severity
of the disruption can also vary from minimal to severe. In a disruption
to only our firm or the building housing our firm, we will transfer our
operations to a local site when needed and expect to recover and resume
business within 1 business day. In a disruption affecting our business
district, city, or region, we will transfer our operations to a site outside
of the affected area, and recover and resume business within 3 business
days. In either situation, we plan to continue in business, and notify
you by telephone or our customer emergency number, 917-816-2528. If the
significant business disruption is so severe that it prevents us from
remaining in business, we will inform you.
